Do you know Emmanuel College is the place you want to spend your next four years? Once you are ready to "go all in" (but no later than May 1!), submit your enrollment form and enrollment deposit ($500 for resident students or $300 for commuter students) online or by mail to the Office of Admissions.

If so, submit the 2017-2018 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), available through the FAFSA website. Emmanuel's priority filing date is February 15, 2017, and our school code is 002147. Have a question about the FAFSA or financial aid? Contact Student Financial Services.

For members of the class entering in Fall 2017, EC Incoming (Emmanuel’s accepted student days) will take place on February 26 and April 8! Take this opportunity to imagine life as a Saint, meeting your future classmates and professors and experiencing firsthand all that Emmanuel has to offer.

Register here for the February 26 event or here for the April 8 event. You may also contact the Office of Admissions to R.S.V.P. via e-mail, by phone (617-735-9715) or by sending us the reply card enclosed with your invitation. Each accepted student may bring up to two guests. If you can't attend one of our accepted student days, be sure to visit Emmanuel for a tour, shadow day or even an overnight.

Make sure you have a current passport that is valid at least six months into the future. It is your responsibility to be aware of the expiration date and to renew it when appropriate. Should you need to renew or update your passport, contact your local government embassy.

Your I-20 application form, which you have received in your application packet, should be completed and submitted as soon as possible if you are planning to enroll at Emmanuel College. You can also find the document here. If you have any questions about the I-20 application, please contact the Office of Admissions.

You've made your decision. Now, it's time to let us know you're coming to Emmanuel in the fall as a member of the entering class. You can let us know anytime on or before May 1, 2017, by submitting your deposit online, or by mailing your enrollment form and deposit to the Office of Admissions.

After you submit your enrollment form and enrollment deposit, you will receive an e-mail prompting you to set up your student e-mail account so you can log in to the MySaints portal. You will need access to MySaints to complete assessments and your housing form.

After you create your Emmanuel e-mail account, you will receive information about Orientation. Orientation is a two-day (one overnight), mandatory program for all new students. Prior to your arrival, you will receive an online booklet with everything you need to know about registration, information on accessing disability services, areas of student involvement, mission and ministry, residence life and Boston visitor information.

Everyone is required to attend Orientation, and you must register between May 1–May 31.

Living on campus this fall? If so, you will need to complete the Residence Life and Housing Lease and Preferences Questionnaire as soon as it becomes available on the MySaints portal in mid-May. The last day to submit your form is June 26, 2017. Watch your Emmanuel e-mail for more information.

As a new student, Emmanuel must receive your final, official high school transcript before the first day of classes in the fall. If you took a college course while in high school, Emmanuel will need that final, official transcript as well. Transfer students: Emmanuel must have your final, official high school and college transcripts from all colleges attended, even for only one course. Be sure to request your final, official high school transcript from your Guidance/College Counseling Office at your high school and/or the Registrar's Office at your college. Get your request in early! Not submitting final grades will delay your ability to obtain transfer credit and register for appropriate classes at Emmanuel.

International students must schedule an appointment with the local U.S. Embassy in their home country after receiving an I-20 from Emmanuel. For further information and instructions, please contact the Office of Admissions.

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires all students enrolled at least 3/4 time to be enrolled in a health insurance plan. In 2016-2017, the health insurance premium was $2,361; the 2017-2018 health insurance premium will be available in June 2017.

If you have comparable health insurance coverage provided by a United States health insurance provider, you may waive enrollment in this plan by completing the health insurance waiver form. Those without qualifying coverage will need to complete the Health Insurance Enrollment Form. Both the enrollment and waiver forms are available at www.universityhealthplans.com.

The deadline to complete the waiver or enrollment from is August 9, 2017.

In early July, you will receive a tuition bill for the fall 2017 semester. The bill is due August 9, 2017. Before the bill becomes available you may estimate your approximate balance by subtracting any financial aid received from the costs outlined in the Guide to Financing and Financial Aid included with your award. If you or your parent(s) are considering borrowing with a private loan, you may want to review loan options beginning in May.

If you are enrolling in Emmanuel's interest-free monthly payment plan, the first payment is due on July 15, 2017. To learn more about payment options, contact the Office of Student Financial Services.

The first weekend in September is an important one—it's when you move into your Emmanuel residence hall and are welcomed as a new student on our campus. If you are not planning to live in a residence hall, you should still set aside this weekend to be on campus. Details about the date, your arival time and an agenda for the New Student Welcome is forthcoming. Stay tuned for more information!

Wednesday, September 6 is the first day of classes for the Fall 2017 semester. International students: The program start date on your I-20 is September 6, 2017. You may enter the United States up to 30 days BEFORE, BUT NO LATER THAN September 6, 2017. If there is any reason you cannot arrive by this date you MUST contact Office of Admissions immediately. Permission to arrive late is difficult and depends on your situation.
